Thought I’d bring you along on my afternoon hike. I’m calling this one Noon in the Aspen Grove. Including my heavy breathing. At 8,300 ft, many of you would be huffing it too. 😉

It’s been a rough week. Find some downtime and disconnect.

Khao Sok National Park in #Thailand is only visited by 70k tourists a year. It’s one of those rare, breathtaking places the masses haven’t overrun yet. Our longboat of 6 was the only one in the area. You can kayak, swim and even spend the night in a floating bungalow.

If you are an #American who reads for pleasure, you are in the vast minority. A 20 year study of more than 230k Americans found that only 16% read for pleasure in 2023 and only 2% of parents read to their children.

When Stephanie Olenik came across an old #bookstore for sale, including the 5,000 #books, in Kennett Square, #Pennsylvania, she decided to buy it and turn it into The Bookhouse Hotel. It has 4 bedrooms, a national #bookclub, a wedding venue and lots of book nooks.

Caribou Pass Trail to Columbine Lake has become one of my favorite trails in #Colorado. First mile is okay, second mile is pretty, mile 3+ is pure magic. At the top you’re overlooking Winter Park, Tabernash and Granby. #hiking #nature
